The Nine

Book 3 of the Mirrors of Bershan Trilogy After defeating the demon Aviatrez, Faylanna and Tavis return to Rianza, hoping their troubles are over.

The Prince's secret has been revealed, one which bars him from taking the throne. Unable to find a way to help, Tavis watches as his father faces the end of the only life he's ever known. Yet nothing is as expected on their arrival. Laws have been changed and the prince remains the heir. But all is not well. Civil unrest is being stirred by unseen hands. Worse, a second Mirror of Bershan has gone missing. When the Emperor involves himself directly in this mystery, the results are disastrous. Faylanna, unable to ignore her problems performing magic any longer, insists on leaving Rianza in search of a solution.

For the first time since meeting, they're parted and neither expect the reaction of the magical bond they created between them. Can Tavis fulfill his duties and survive unexpected challenges, even as he fights the constant demand from their bond to find her? Is there a solution for Faylanna to find and what will be the price if she finds one?
